I loved your picture and didn't care for the centered fisherman - au contraire! Ho seems to be attracted, more like magnetized to this unknown, mysterious point. Brava! |

Forgot to vote on this one. This is such a gorgeous scene, but I don't think the center placement does this one justice, imo. There's such gorgeous leading lines in the snow on the hill and it's reflection -- even though it's not really leading to anything in particular, it still really wants to help the eye roam around the scene. But with the subject centered, it's as if the eye just stops it's journey. Here's the subject, no need to explore further. I'm not explaining it well, but I was trying to dig deeper as to why this one didn't hit me right, and that's what I discovered. |

Positively sublime representation of the challenge. Beautiful image. Ribbon well earned. Congrats. I was one of your 7s. Nothing less than a 5, an across the board pleaser. |

So is this Lake Como? and if so how wonderful if you live there, was just talking about out adventures there yesterday. |
Thank you! I'm so happy :.) So this isn't actually Lake Como, I've added details to the description above but it's a smaller lake a short drive from its more famous relative. Once upon a time the two lakes along with Lake Ceresio of Lugano formed one huge body of water before the last ice age.
I find a lot of inspiration at Lago di Piano as it's quite wild and has a lot of animals around. However I'm looking to do some shots of Lake Como in these days perhaps for the harbour challenge as there are a fair few to choose from!
Lake Garda is supposed to be quite similar and very nice, I'll have to make the trip over there some day! |
Thanks for that i started reading your blog but it was way tooo long lol, so I stopped. But thanks for the heads up. |

I love how the hill and its reflection look like giant jaws about to swallow up the oblivious fisherman. |
